ALAS, FOR TIE LIBEL Law.

ALAS! FOR THE LIBEL Law.
When the Twentieth Legislature con-
vened every indication pointed to action,
prompt and thorough, amending the libel
law, so far as it applies to newspapers.
As for the newspaper men OF the state
they considered the matter as good as
settled. They had piled line upon line
and precept upon preceEt, for the In
formation of the lawmakers, showing up
the homogeneous, Orerous features of the
existing law The newspapers were
rather modest, too, in their suggestions.
They did not "demand" anything as our
prohibition friends did, but in all decor
BUSINESS contented themselves with re-
quests and suggestions, feeling assured
the Legislature would heerken to the ep-
peels and amend the law. The Solons
have hearkened, but that is all; q bill Of an
amendatory nature was introduced but
it has never made any progress
worth speaking of and THE GA
zETTE fears it never will-until the
Twenty first or some subsequent Legisla-
ture comes into being. If the House, es-
pecially, had any inclination to amend the
law it is to be feared the Garfield episode
bas given check to said inclination and
the proposed amended libel law will coz
tinue to slumber in the committee room.
These are apprehenstons. But what an
opportunity is open to the House and
Senate too to show that both bodies are
able to rise above petty preiudices and
passions and enact measure that will do
Justice to the press of the state. Action
now on the libel law-such amendments
as would annul the most harsh, unreason-
able features of the present law-would
come with much better grace from the
Legislature than if the House had not
felt called on to exclude newspaper
correspondent from rerortorial pEivi-
leges and thus indirectly snub and
rebuke the press of the whole
state. The Legislature would do
itself credit by Intelligent, liberal action
now, thus showing that while prompt to
resent what one branch of the body con-
ceived to be unjust and uncalled for criti-
cism on the part of the press, it (the
Legislature) is yet able to rise above
puerile or querulous considerations and
do justice to the press. Such action
could not fail to evoke the commentator
it would merit. THE GAZETTE Will
confess, however, that it is not indulging
in especially sanguine expectations as to
the probability of such an outcome. 1t
is almost too much to hope for from the
Twentieth Legislature. But what an OPP
portunity 1t is, and now alert shrewd
men would be to improve it.

CHICAGO, ILL, March 3 The brief
prepared by Attorneys Black, Salaman &
Heisler in the anarchist case, was re-
ceiyed from the hands of the printer this
afternoon. 1t is misnOmer to call it a
brief, for it contains 426 pages. 1t dwelIs
at great length on the incompetency of
the evidence of many witnesses, the al
legged contradictions of the testimony, the
insufficiency of the evidence to show con-
spiracy, the tendency of the court to rule
against the defendants and the supposed
vital errors contained IN the instruction.
The brief contains mainly the same points
covered by Hon. Leonard Swett's brief,
which was filed in advance CT the court at
Ottawa at once. The attorneys expect to
make their arguments in about twenty
days.

CARDINAL GIBBONS, who recently left
this country TO visit Rome, has laid be-
fore the Vatican the question of permit
ting members of the Catholic church to
belong to the organization known as the
Knights of Labor. The Romish church
has in the past inhexibly set its face
against all secret orders, but with the
wisdom OF the children OF this world, it
has likewise distinguished itself by a flex-
ibility of action. Charac cried as expe-
diencY when used outside religious mat
tiers. According to the statement of the
Cardinal, "nesrly one-third of the mt Il
belonging to this orgsr ization are Roman
Catholics" and il IS fair deduction that
were the church to place herself in direct
antagonism with this element, 1t would
lead to the discontinue of pspacy. The
probability, therefore, seems to be that
the church will leave the attempt to ad-
Just labor and capital to the masses who
have manifested determination to take
the question into their cwn hands.

THE TEXAS INQUIRY.

1t is not only pleasant but reassuring to
see northern journals of ability and infu-
ence take common sense view of alleged
outrages in Texas. If there is anything
at all in such inquiries as that now being
instituted, it is that Texas people deny
the rights of the negroes in the state, when
the fact is that Texas legislation will
show aliberality and justice to the negro
not exceeded by any state in the Union.
There is no hostility here to the negro as
such, and the Chicago Herald does itself
credit in its discussion of the senatorial
investigation. That paper says; "Lo-
cality makes all the difference in the
world with a political fight resulting in
violence. II it occurs in northern state
il is passed over as neighborhood quar-
rel which will presently settle itself
Many such are reported every year in
northern states. II it occurs in a south
ern state it furnishes ammunition for a
senatorial broadside.
"The present inquiry into the troubles
existing in Washington county, Tex, has
gone far enough to show that the ill-feel-
ing there Is very much like ill-feeling any
where else. Certain desperate characters
taught the negroes that the Democratic
party had caused the earthquakes, the
floods and the tornadoes, and the blacks,
who were in the majority, assumed an
attitude toward the whites which the lat
ter construed as threatening, if nothing
more. Wrongs OF both sides Increased
the feeling, until vigilance committees
were formed and warnings were given to
certain worthless characters that they
must leave the county. On election day
a negro killed white man and two or
three negroes were lynched by mob.
Then Senator Hoar put on his spectacles
and demanded an inquest at the expense
of the Federal treasury, which is now IL
progress.
TN the western states some such incl
dents as those which are reported in
Washington county, Tex, are as common
as elections. Only the other day 1t was
reported from a remote county in Colora-
do that one party had driven another
party into the mountains and inaugurated
a reign of terror ct the county seat. No
senatorial inquiry in this case. Last
week county seat fight in Kansas threat
ened to result in wholesale murder.
Every man went armed to the polls.
Many plug-uglies were imported for the
express purpose of killing opponents.
No senatorial inquiry. A few months
ago in Minnesota the people of one town
armed and equipped themselves and
marched upon another town, where they
had pitched battle, many people being
wounded. No senatorial inquiry. Not
an election occurs at the north that in
some portion OF the country men do not
violate the law, disturb the peace and kill

a DISPOSITION to boom home localities
by high eulogies from the legislators
from these districts is not peculiar to
California, but the reader will agree that
boast of the member from Humboldt
county is at least unique. This is his
tribute:
Gentlemen of the House, cannot refrain
from taking this opportunity of saying WORD
about the attractions of Humboldt county.
While we make no boast of poisoning orange
groves, perfume laden ai's and days of per
petual sunshine, think my constituents would
never forgive me II l should allow an occasion
to pass which has afforded me an opportunity
to throw down challenge to any county 10
this state to make comparison with Hu q boldt
in the matter of the production of salmon and
squSws.

THE New York Tribune is careful to
mention that the Stonecutters' Union at
Richmond, Va, has decided against al
lowinga colored membership, and does
not fail 10 comment on the existence OF a
color line in that latitude. With an OBJ
Iiquity of vision which would be remark
able if it had not existed since the mote
and beam days, there is failure to note
precisely similar case in Boston, Mass,

and decisively refused to admit into their
lodges the colored man and brother.

II MAY surprise those who have given
little attention to the growing interest in
chronological stGdy to know that one
school alone, the Massachusetts Insti-
tute, has at this time 637 students, and
that there has been expended in the cree.
ton of suitable buildings sos, 625, and
more than million and half psid out
in current expenses. The Legislature of
that state has now under consideration
the further appropriation of 100000 as
an endowment for the school. The ad-
vantages of such system of instruction
can hardly be over estimated, as the de-
mand of higher civilization is ever for
skilled labor in all departments. and
young persons can go out from such an
institution fitted for work even better
than under the old apprentice system
which is now obsolete. 1t is to be hoped
that Texas, mindful of her high privilege,
will not allow her magnificent trust fund
for the children be FILTERED away by I'M
wise legislation, and no provision be
made to thus equip her young men and
women for the battle of life.

THERE is no pleasing grumblers! Since
Lieutenant Greedy has been in charge of
the weather bureau he has opened the
drawers end lmpsrtially scattered the
contents in the northern states. Hail,
snow, slush and whiriwind have been
strewn, and so disgruntled are the recip-
tents that they are calling for sunshine.
To expect man who spent so long 3
time in Arctic regions, freezing with cold,
to be able to command sunshine is ab-
surd. DR.. Pavey and old Sol were not
amena5le to his orders there, and the

GhlcagO Herald.
The trouble which the Legislature OF
New Jersey is having over the election OF
g United States Senator emphasizes the
folly of the present system of choosing
these officials. 1t is said by persons
familiar with the situation at Trenton
that the difficulty is not g personal or q
party one. As to the man or the party
to be honOred by the senatorship de-
cisiOn could be made without delay. The
stumbling block is the fact that two or
three men on both sides of 8 body that
is very closely divided as to party
preferences are holding out with
the object of "making something" out
of the matter. In other words, neither
party can control its fall strength because
some of Its members are for sale. Be
yond doubt these mercenGries secured
their election to the Assembly for the
express purpose of realizing on their
votes in the senatorial election which they
knew was to take place.
1t has been urged that the President
should be elected by Congress. TIE best
argument against this proposition is to be
found in the scandalous proceedings of
the Legislatures which have the election
of Senators. Presidents are not elected
by bribery, nor would Senators be if the
choice were made by the people at the
polls. This is reform which cannot be
too vigorously pushed for the good OF
the country.

is that a non-union man has as much
right to work as anybody else. The saw

VIII never indorse strikes or boyco:ts

COMPETITION FOR THE COTTON
OIL MONOPOLN.

There must be balm in Gilead, for it is
stated, on seemingly good authority, that
the Cotton Oil Trust monopoly, which
has virtually succeeded in getting cor
ner on the cotton seed product of the
south, is going to have competition and of
formidable character. packing
Phil Armour and syndicate of Chicago
capitalists are said to be the men who
will lead the competition. 1t does not
appear that Mr.. Armour and his asso-
ciates enter this fight because of inherent
detestation OF the methods and policies
of the cotton oil monopoly. There not a
scintilla of sentimentalism or righteous
indignation on the part of the Chicago
crowd. They have cut some figure them
selves as the manipulstors of "corners,"
and have more than once displayed
their cheerful tact as monopolists. Mr..
Armour himself is immense in both lines.
The Chicago movement is explained in
the fact that the cotton oil people (who
seem to want the EARTH are intruding on
the Chicago peoples territory by making
an attack on the lard interest. Cotton
seed oil is formidable rival OF lard and
the cotton seed oil monopoly is moving
quietly to get control of the lard product,
as it has Of cotton seed. If successful it
will put cotton seed oil against lard and
vice versa-play them both for all they
are worth. This it is that has stirred up
the Armour party, whose views were
given IL Galveston special published in
